To the theologian street preachers who have the overwhelming burden to be out on the street, where the world hates Christ, sharing the gospel with those who are perishing.

Shepherds Conference Day 3 highlights

Session 1 Phil Johnson

The morning session started off with Phil Johnson preaching from 1 Corinthians 16:13-14. The four points were to: Watch, be steadfast in the faith, be brave (or manly), and be strong. We are to do all things in v. 13 with love (v. 14).

Phil had 3000 men laughing as he talked about how the modern Church has sissified men into soft spoken girls and he had everyone saying Amen has he exhorted us in being watchful, steadfast, and strong men in the faith.

Session 2 - Steve Lawson

Huge surprise for the music tonight. The Getty's are here and melted our hearts with hymns that so exalt Jesus Christ. They truly prepared our hearts to hear the Word of God preached.

Lawson introduces his text as Job 1:6-12, "The invisible war".

Here are a few things that jumped out:

Before God uses a man greatly He must break him greatly. The more we want to be used by God, the more we have to be willing to suffer. With great godliness comes great exposure to the enemy.

I believe in the devil because I battled him this morning - Martin Luther

As Lawson was speaking of how God uses the devil to accomplish His will, he said, "God will draw a straight line with a crooked stick."

I want to be as well known in Hell as in Heaven - Martin Luther

There are many secondary causes but there is only one primary cause, which is God.

Calvin on his death bed said, "I kiss the rod that smites me."

Lawson continued the sermon preaching with fire. He heated things up so much that the AC kicked on. He ended with a personal story of God crushing him in his ministry as he was preaching on Job. It was a great sermon.

Visitors

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. 2 Corinthians 5:11

This blog was made to share our experiences while sharing the gospel on the steet and to encourage others to "GO" into all the world and preach the gospel. We don't want any glory for ourselves because we are very weak and can do nothing without Christ. So all the glory goes to God because He is worthy of all glory and worship. We are but grass that will wither away. We hold to what George Whitefield said, "Let me die, and let my name die with me." To God be the glory.

These are our latest experiences while sharing the gopsel on the streets. Praise God because He is at work always. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:4 Praise God for raising up men to hit the streets and boldly proclaim the gospel to every creature. I believe God is beginning to raise up people to proclaim His word boldly. It seems with all the false prophets and watered down churches of today that Christianity in America is dead. But God has raised up a remnant that is bold in the faith, sound in doctrine, and that hunger and thirst for righteousness. With the rapid increase in heresy spreading throughout the visible church we also see this remnant of theologian street preachers who are boldly counteracting everything that the "world" loves about the new seeker friendly church. This remnant is seen in the increasing number of open-air preachers and street evangelists throughout the US. They are preaching a biblical gospel that exalts Jesus Christ and explains Justification. Praise our Sovereign God for this increasing remnant.
